Shipwreck Cargoes: Approaches to Material Culture in Australian Maritime Archaeology.2009 •
"What has been learned from the detailed study of cargo material found on merchant shipwreck sites in Australia? Some extensive collections of shipwreck cargo material have resulted from archaeological excavations by maritime archaeologists over the past 30 years or so. Other collections have been created by SCUBA divers, primarily before the introduction of the Commonwealth (Federal) Historic Shipwrecks Act in 1976. Many of these have now been documented as a result of the 1993 amnesty. The relationship between cargo artifacts from archaeologically excavated shipwrecks and similar artifacts found on terrestrial historical archaeological sites is explored through a consideration of the meanings attached to these objects, suggesting ways that artifact studies focused on shipwreck cargo material can contribute to understandings of colonial societies, the nature of capitalism, and the rise of consumerism. This journal article argues that successful colonial settlement was only possible where there was a regular supply of suitable consumer goods for the newly arrived colonists."
Maritime Archaeology: Australian Approaches
Artifact Studies2006 •
This book chapter considers some of the significant artifact studies that have been conducted in Australian maritime archaeology over the last two decades. It will examine what has been learnt from the detailed study of artifacts from Royal Navy vessels as well as cargo material, personal objects and so-called "collected" items found on shipwreck sites as well as artifact studies associated with jetty sites. It will briefly explore the relationship between artifacts from wrecks and similar artifacts found on terrestrial historical archaeological sites primarily by considering the meanings of these objects. It will suggest some ways that artifact studies can contribute to our understandings of trade, colonial societies and even site formation processes.

"Great Britain established colonies in Australia during the late 18th and early 19th ncenturies by importing capital, goods andf people. During the early settlement, colonists were almost totally dependent upon shipping for their goods. Indeed it can be argued that the capacity of countries like Great Britain to successfully invade and colonize was largely dependent on international trade, which provided familiar, appropriate food, drink and material culture for the population transported to the colonies. This paper uses data obtained from two colonial-period shipwrecks excavated in Australia during the last 20 years. In 1797 the merchantman Sydney Cove wrecked on a voyage from Calcutta to the newly established British penal colony at Port Jackson (Australia) with a speculative cargo. William Salthouse wrecked in 1841 at the end of a voyage from Montreal to the recently established colony at Melbourne."

Tracing artefact trajectories: following Chinese export porcelain1996 •
""Ceramics in general, and Chinese export porcelain in particular, have long been recognised as playing an important role not only for utilitarian purposes but also as a means to display socio-economic status (or 'class'), to demonstrate 'good taste' and to allow people to negotiate and construct their place in society. This paper examines the consumption of a particular type of material culture - Chinese export porcelain by focussing on part of the cargo of the merchant ship Sydney Cove which was wrecked on a voyage to Port Jackson in 1797. However, in order to follow the processes of consumption it is necessary to trace the trajectories of Chinese export porcelain from the sites of production through trade, transport, selection, purchase, use and disposal to its excavation from archaeological sites.""

The Chinese Porcelain from the Port of San Blas, Mexico2019 •
Analysis on Chinese porcelains discovered from the Port of San Blas. The Port of San Blas was a short living port which can be precisely dated. Henceforth the unearthed porcelains mostly fall into the period when the port was actually in use though some pieces show that the port was still in use after it was officially closed as a port.
